Yes. What I've too realized is support from a strong team and or a large community makes any coin successful.
Just look for the frequency of posts in the forum and reddit subforum of a coin, you'll see it's future.
Well I tend to agree but for me really, a good product and a vivid community are mandatory. If you dont have that, gtfu
But beside that, a good salesforce is everything.
A lot of startups actually fail at selling their product. They overcome all the challenges in creating something useful, have an excellent team and so on. But their inexperience in selling and marketing is often times the end of story.
In the top 200 coins, I bet you find a lot of promising projects that would probably double or triple in price in a very short time, if there was more proactive marketing. And a lot of those coins actually need mainstream adoption in order to be sucessfull. So it's not a pump and dump, these coins need customer...think of all the gaming and marketplaces products out there. They will only succeed, if people actually start using them.
